Yeah...rubicon is not enough test cases and coverage, but it is something extra over our internal unit tests. Adding Ruby test dir (well some subset of it) could be added now. Perhaps even asking the metaruby guys to give us access to their fork of rubicon, since they that they have have lots of core library tests. We should also consider running clover with these tests to focus on trouble areas (e.g. blocks/procs/lambdas). > - As far as I've seen (though I haven't exercised it extensively) Ruby > always normalizes to forward slashes.

I think we should match linux Ruby as much as possible since the whole backslash thing breaks stuff semantically. > - According to Eclipse, FIXME is high priority and TODO is medium > priority.

I think they should add FIXME to their list so it shows up under tasks. It probably will for 3.2 (my eclipse is keeping me on 3.1). So it has downgraded from war of words to war on classification :) -Tom -- + http://www.tc.umn.edu/~enebo +---- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----+ | Thomas E Enebo, Protagonist | "Luck favors the prepared | | | mind." -Louis Pasteur | ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
